30 Best Coffee Shops in Richmond Hill

“Acai bowls are delicious!!!! They use the freshest ingredients!!“

“Exceptional bakery, comfortable atmosphere, friendly staff, great place to meet and greet.“

“best place to have benedict“

“Definitely my favourite coffee roaster. I drink my coffee black and Social coffee beans have the exact flavours that I love. My favourites are the light roasted Ethiopian varieties but lately I have also really enjoyed the espresso roasts from Costa Rica and Papua New Guinea. I highly recommend their coffee.“

“excellent coffee and pastries...finally a quality bakery/cafe...thank you“

“Best pizza 🍕 dough hands down And amazing staff“

“Love the place, but I don’t like that people, mostly students with laptops hoard larger tables meant for 4 people. It would be better that people with laptops could share a single table, that way others can use bigger tables if they need them“

“Fantastic coffee, attentive and polite staff, and a nicely quiet atmosphere. The pour over is definitely pricey, but it’s quite pure and pristine. Clearly a lot of care was put into the craft.

There are also some really fun books, both general and coffee themed.

Sharron was happy to answer all of my questions about the coffee and looked after me more than I’d expect from a coffee shop. Even the other patrons felt very respectful, which feels like they have a great company and patron respect.

Overall, a great place to get a great cup of coffee on the run, or sit and unwind for a few minutes in the middle of a stressful day.“

“Great coffee! Great menu!! Had one of the best Eggs Benedict ever… with smoked duck meat and sweet & sour onions! Side potatoes were suberb as well. Loved the decor and ambience.“

“EVERYTHING! We came from upstate NY. Everything was absolute perfection! So impressed.“

“Absolutely delicious sweet and savory treats. I have so many food allergies but I can safely eat the food from this bakery. i appreciate the plant based options too. I love the oat fudge bars, vanilla cakes/cupcakes, chocolate cakes/cupcakes, custom cakes, both types of quiche, the scones, brownies, spiced chocolate bar, lattes, drip coffee, cookies...geeze I guess I go there a lot. I haven't even tried everything in the bakery yet. It is a wonderful for breakfast, midday treat and dessert after dinner. I stock up on Sunday to have enough to last me until Thursday morning when the bakery reopens for the week. I am having a very hard time sticking to just one item a day. It is great for school lunch treats because it is a nut free bakery. This is important for school staff and students.“

“Went to Gate Cafe to get some work done and was pleased to find plenty of seating with nearby outlets. While I was there, I had to try their Brisket Poutine, which was $20.

The poutine is definitely big enough to share, making it a great value. The brisket was tender and flavourful. What really stands out is how generous they are with the gravy and sauce—it's incredibly rich and savoury. My one piece of advice is to not mix everything all at once. The sauces are so abundant that it can quickly make the fries soggy, so it's best to enjoy it in smaller, well-portioned bites.

Overall, the poutine was a fantastic treat. Paired with the fast and friendly staff, my experience at Gate Cafe was a productive and delicious one.“

“Great teas. Great atmosphere.“

“食物美味，氣氛休閑舒適“

“I visited this Tim Hortons this morning and had such a wonderful experience. I was greeted by a very kind, friendly, and welcoming staff member named NAZI .
I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted for breakfast, but she patiently asked about my preferences and recommended something that turned out to be a great choice. I really appreciated her positive attitude, patience, and excellent customer service.
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize Nazi and thank her for making my morning a little better. Service like this truly makes a difference. I’ll definitely be coming back and will try to make this location my regular breakfast stop!
Thank you, NAZI , for the wonderful service!“

“I’ve been coming to this Starbucks regularly, and it’s honestly one of my favorite spots. The drinks are always great, but what really makes this place stand out is the staff. They’re consistently kind, welcoming, and make the whole experience feel personal. That’s what keeps me coming back.“

“$2.15 an egg tart as of May 2026
We have tried so many egg tarts, this place is rated highly. When we arrived, we waited 10 minutes for fresh egg tarts and it was worth it. The egg is silky, smooth and reminds me of my childhood. The crust is flaky and dense at the same time. Running strong in our books. I also got the red bean and salted egg yolk. Delicious.“

“Tim Hortons at this location is my favorite places! Everything is always clean and well-organized, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Samira, the manager, for her kindness and excellent service. I always enjoy the fresh coffee and snack“

“First time here, nice brunch and good service, definitely will come again😘“

“Absolutely incredible pastries! Ruelo is such a special bakery, with beautifully crafted treats that taste just as wonderful as they look. The space is always clean, welcoming, and inviting, making every visit a lovely experience.

Adults and kids alike absolutely love it! Whether you’re looking for something special to celebrate a birthday or simply a delicious everyday snack, Ruelo has something for every occasion.

I’m especially a huge fan of their madeleines! Buttery, delicate, and absolutely delicious. They’re a must-try!

You can really appreciate the quality, creativity, and attention to detail in everything they make. A wonderful bakery that makes even an ordinary day feel a little more special. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent and delicious traditional breads“

“Delicious food. Approachable clerck and very faster“

“How come I used to pass by Bayview/ Major McKenzie and missed out the coffee shop?

The bacon egg cheese brekwich is a must try and makes it perfect combo with hash brown and medium coffee.

It is quiet, no noise, great for chitchat with friends.

Hence the owner, the gentleman, is friendly and proud of his F&B.“

“I always enjoy coming to the Starbucks at Sheraton Parkway. The entire team is friendly, welcoming, and professional, and they create such a positive atmosphere every time I visit.

I especially want to recognize James, who is absolutely amazing. He is always cheerful, greets customers with a genuine smile, and somehow remembers exactly how I like my coffee. That kind of personal service really makes a difference.“

“I love going to Starbucks every time I come to Hillcrest! All the staff are super friendly especially my cashier that day Veronica. She was super nice, made a quick conversation, and complemented me which really made my day! Overall, their drinks are amazing especially when I get a caramel ribbon crunch here, they always make it the best!“

“Surprisingly well laid out and spacious although situated within a gas station complex and attached the gas station's own store. We'll mannered staff, great offerings, quick turn arounds. Sufficient for a friendly business meeting. 🙂“

“I had an amazing experience at Tim Hortons today, especially after having a really difficult day at work.

I stopped by for what I thought would be a simple coffee. There seemed to be a new team member who was still learning how to take and enter orders, and I could see she was having a little difficulty. A gentleman from the team noticed and stepped in to help her. He then looked at me, smiled, and asked if I would like anything to eat as well. He took a moment to ask how I was doing, almost as if he could tell I wasn’t having the best day.

I told him I just wanted a coffee, and he prepared it quickly and served it with such a positive and welcoming attitude. It was only a minute or two of interaction, but that little bit of kindness and positive energy genuinely made a difference to me. I left feeling a little better and more motivated than when I walked in.

I believe his name was Rakshak, if I remember correctly. People like him are a great example of how small gestures and good energy can completely change someone’s day.

Thank you, Tim Hortons, for having team members who care about the guest experience. I would definitely recommend this location to others!“

“Had a really good experience at Starbucks the staff were friendly will come in and provided Quick service my order was made exactly how I wanted it and everything was fresh and well prepared the store had a comfortable atmosphere and was a nice place to relax and enjoy my drink overall great experience and I would definitely come back“

“Abdul Rahman and Prince provided wonderful service at the Tim Hortons drive-through. I realized I had forgotten an item, and Abdul Rahman kindly brought it out to me in the driveway. Prince was so patient and gracious while helping me place a second order for the item I’d missed. They were both thoughtful, helpful, and genuinely kind. Thank you, Abdul Rahman and Prince, for making my visit such a lovely experience!“
